Generative Memorization
My exploration of Ong’s ‘Orality and Literacy’. Now “Oral Memorization” or is it “Generative Memorization”? From oral through literate to today, has memorization gone full circle?

What is my human lifeworld?
Can I compare Ong’s characteristics of an oral culture with our modern world? If so, what does that mean? This week “Close to the human lifeworld.

It all looks the same
Have you noticed nothing seems that new anymore? “Conservative or traditionalist” – The next topic in my exploration of Ong’s, Orality and literacy.

With the constant whitewashing of #bribes to the US #president as "Oh, but it's going to his future presidential library", would it be #unkind to suggest that such a library would either have to have entirely empty shelves, or be full of nothing but pornographic magazines, picture books, and magazine covers featuring a certain orange menace?
He's #aliterate. A "library" is a category error for the man, as are "facts" and "information".

FOMO, YOLO, and FOLO?
Continuing my exploration of Ong’s characteristics of an oral culture, “Aggregative rather than analytic”. Do friends have to be “best” or “forever”?

We are deep in “it”
Back to the exploration of Ong’s characteristics of an Oral Culture. Focusing on “Empathetic and Participatory Rather than Objectively Distanced

Governance and Orality
I’ve been digging into a thought for the past week starring out into the void wondering what to do next.
With Decentralized/Federated Social Media, I’m […]

He had to say "and other E.U. represented countries" because he doesn't know what other wine-making countries are part of the E.U.

We in Canada would love to see that, too.

After this Gulf of Mexico / "Gulf of America" / Gulf of Fragile Masculinity nonsense, I'm waiting to see what happens when someone tells Trump that there's a U.S. state with "Mexico" in its name.

CW: USPol - Trump, tariffs
So, #Trump unleashed #economic #chaos with his sudden obsession with applying high tariffs to Canada and Mexico, and smaller (!) tariffs on China. The #markets are not going to be happy tomorrow.
So, why did he do it? I have #ideas.
The fentanyl-and-immigrants pretext is obvious and so thin no one can take it seriously. He only put it forward so he could declare a national emergency, which let him impose tariffs without consulting Congress.
Project 2025, as far as I remember, did not call for an economic war on the US's biggest trading partner.
The billionaires - is it too soon to call them the American #oligarchs? - aren't going to benefit from economic chaos, at least not in the short or medium term.
So, why?
Trump is an #uncomplicated person. He's not stupid, but he's #aliterate and intellectually incurious to a fault. He's extremely vain. He's not interested in much besides himself, and believes winning isn't the biggest thing, it's the only thing. And because of his poor understanding of economics (and most everything else), he believes all trade - all deals - are a zero-sum game. For him to win, you have to lose. If he sees you benefit, that means he lost, and he loses face. Megalomaniacal vanity and losing face are incompatible.

Don't forget 7,300 VHS tapes of news clips where someone said something complimentary about DJT. They're all almost worn out, though.

Where was I in reviewing Ong’s characteristics of an Oral culture? I can’t recall.
A little searching ( clickity clickity )… here it is.

For the most part, as you may have guessed, I’ve been arguing that we are returning to a mostly oral culture by saying we have the most of the characteristics. However, this is one where it doesn’t fully lock in for me […]

Indeed. Remember, he's the man who couldn't be bothered to read "his own" book, much less write it.
